 Increased access could therefore could only mean more roads, or opening some or all of the 7,000 km. of fire trails and management tracks to vehicular and equestrian use. The Tourism Strategy report confirms this view and adds a further dimension. It aims to achieve ecologically sustainable development. Parks are to be "marketed" with a view to increasing revenue. "Key Regional Destinations" and marketing campaigns are to be developed and actively promoted, World Heritage and Biosphere Reserves are to be important components of promotion on an international level; information will be provided about commercial tour opportunities and advertised in the print media.
-The Strategy gives prominence to conservation. It gives priority to "the need to achieve the conservation of the protected areas system, the need to achieve ecologically sustainable visitor use." The community, it is stated, "is entitled to experience national parks in a way that does not damage the environment." The "desired future" is "Firstly te ensure that the protected areas of NSW fulfil their primary function, the conservation of heritage values." The S.B.W. could not have expressed it better. However the Strategy Report admits to a trade-off between heritage conservation and visitor use and the need to repair damage. "Nature tourism is defined as all visitor use of protected  areas" and includes "recreation pursuits such s horseriding and using 4WD for access."

 These privileged users are incorrectly described as "stakeholders." The parks are not created for the use of any specific group. The stakeholders are the people of NSW

 The walks reports opened with no report for Paul McCann’s Buckenbowra State Forest walk over the Australia Day weekend.  Bit of an anticlimax really.  Bill Holland led a party of 8 on his Danjerra Dam area trip that same weekend.  Conditions were hot and not greatly relieved by the thunderstorm that turned up.  Tony Holgate had 10 on his Upper Ettrema walk which was re arranged into a patchwork or trips in the South-East Forest because of closures due to bushfires or threats of bushfires.  Don Brooks packed a great deal of variety into his Saturday walk out from Springwood for the party of 14.  They had rain, a storm, fine weather, some swims and numerous leeches.  There was no report for Ken Cheng’s Waterfall to Otford trip on the Sunday.  Alan Doherty’s midweek walk also failed to produce a report at the meeting.
-Kenn Clacher’s two, one day canyon trips went, but no details were available to the meeting.  John Poleson reported a party of 9 on his Edgecliff to South Head urban stroll on the Saturday.  The day was pleasant and punctuated by swims.  Ken Smith rerouted his Medlow Bath trip on the same day to Faulconbridge for the party of two.  Greta James reported 9.5 (well that’s what she said) on her Bundeena to Bundeena Sunday walk.  Conditions were hot, so they resorted to swimming to control their temperature.  Bill Holland was out of town when the date for his Berowra area walk came around, so it was scrubbed.  Anne Maguire let the party of 13 on her Sunday walk out from Blackheath through storm, tempest and hail, on an otherwise perfectly all-right day.

 David Trinder had 12 on his extended walk down the Overland Track in Tasmania during February.  Somehow or other they managed to slip the walk into a spell of fine weather.
